In recent days, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened military action if Iranian security forces kill protesters. (Photo by Majid Saeedi/Getty Images)

From baby care to seniors, the Midtown Kingston Health Home is looking to act as a fully encompassing community health hub. Since its opening in late July, the clinic has provided primary care to community members and un-rostered patients on Health Care Connect Lists in the surrounding Kingston neighbourhoods. The health home is currently leasing a former family doctor practice, waiting to move in to a nearby newly renovated permanent location in the coming years.

More than five million Canadians struggle to access primary care - Kingston, Ontario is no exception. With practitioners retiring, years-long wait times for family doctors and a lack of clinics accepting patients, the city has turned to new approaches to help its population get medical care. The Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC) is testing out a new program that connects thousands of patients in a geographical area with a local multidisciplinary team of primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, dieticians and metal health workers.
